Papaya Dog Hot Dogs

30 Second Review: Papaya Dog 55 Newark St. in Hoboken

Yeah, Papaya Dog has been open for a few weeks in downtown Hoboken. We checked it out last week, and below are our (me and Oscar’s) quick observations:

We eat low carb, so the menu was limited. Ate a regular hot dog ($0.99) and a “sausage” ($2.50), both without the bun or condiments. Talk about getting down to basics!

The hot dog was pretty good. Not bad for a buck (Not sure if the November promotion is still on, though).

Now this is where it gets weird. The “sausage,” definitely looked “different” than the hot dog (shorter, darker) – it even had little red spices resembling peppers or something like that. However, it tasted pretty much exactly like the hot dog. And two and a half times more costly.

I ate half of each, and gave the rest to my pooch. He ate them, didn’t get sick, no bowel irregularities. That alone, gives Papaya dog a “passing” grade.

Overall – they should do OK considering the late night drunk crowd. The interior was very odd, though. Didn’t feel the Feng Shui with the layout whatsoever.

Do you dig this place yet?

Burp!

Papaya Dog to open in Hoboken, NJ

9/24/2012:

Other than your standard hot dog carts, Hoboken was surprisingly void of official hot dog stores/franchises – until 2012!

With Jersey Favorite Windmill Hot Dogs opening up at 79 Hudson St. earlier this year, and straight from NYC – Papaya Dog set to open up at the former Hoboken Pizza location at 55 Newark St. soon, we have officially been placed on the hot dog destination map.

Tried the food there once just to see what it was like, and I think it’s much worse than school cafeteria food…It’s no Nathan’s in Brooklyn no matter what anyone says, sorry!Not familiar with Papaya Dog but I have seen a few around the city. Are they like Gray’s Papaya?[/quote]

You will never get my business as long as you keep littering Hoboken cars ;and ultimately sidewalks, streets, and gutters) with your menus. It is illegal to leave menus on cars. Next time I file a complaint with the city. Thank you for your attention to this.
